Contemporary Garden Redesign
This small garden in Bunny, Nottinghamshire was much loved but wasn’t practical for the family. The paving laid during a house extension stopped natural flow into the garden from the house and there was insufficient space for a dining table and extra seating areas. The planting was also confined to the edges of the garden.
The clients longed for an intimate space, with immersive planting and a home for the statement swing seat from Odd Limited. The high maintenance lawn was struck off the to-keep list, whilst the existing Greenhouse and little shed would be kept. The clients were keen to have a zoned space with various seating and dining spaces, wrapped with contemporary style planting.
Bel created the 3D Garden Design Plans in Autumn 2024 and the landscaping began the following Spring. The existing paving was reconfigured and reused to create the Dining area and new complimentary Clay Pavers from London Stone were used for the Swing Seat Area and connecting pathways, laid in a contemporary format. The Seating Area to the rear of the garden was redesigned and the lawn replaced with simple aggregate with inset pavers.
Bel carried out the planting in late summer of 2025, following the Planting Design Package created for the project. A modern mix of shrubs, roses, perennials and grasses were used and will fill out to give a fully immersive feel to the various spaces within the garden.
